Study on Character of Triaxial Extension Strength of Compacted Clay

Abstract:

For soils, failure occurs with lower deviatoric stress under the same pressure (the first invariant of stress tensor) in TXE compared with the strength of the triaxial compression, which is indicated that the strength of soils strongly depends on the third invariant of stress deviator; Although in the traditional Mohr-Coulomb criterion it can be reflected in difference of strength between triaxial extension and compression under the same pressure, it’s nothing to do with the pressure for the strength ratio between triaxial extension and compression. By TXC and TXE, changes of deviatoric stress and the ratio with the pressure were studied
